The 411 on Black Feminism

Politico's article entitled “Leaning Out: How Michelle Obama Became a Feminist Nightmare,” by Michelle Cottle ignited a firestorm among Americans, in particularly African-American political expert and author Melissa Harris-Perry. Harris-Perry penned an open letter to Cottle, “ripping her a new one” for her racial connotations which inferred that Obama was steering clear of the "Angry Black Woman" stereotype. Aside from shutting down more of Cottle's theories about the first lady, Harris-Perry promised to draft a syllabus of reading materials on African-American feminism and BET.com has it here for you. — Dominique Zonyéé
